#234259 - 09/13/03 11:58 PM Green Crabs
MrMikie Member Registered: 08/01/03 Posts: 1506 Loc: Groton, CT	I went to buy some green crabs tday and about **** my pants. The bait shop wanted $4 a dozen!! I said you have got to be kidding me!! he said no only $2.50 / doz for frozen. I turned around and left. Came home and made one phone call to a bait shop I bought from last year and got a terrific deal. Guy said I am tired of counting those damn things. I got 4 prices now, bring in a 5 gal bucket; $20 I fill it, 3/4 full $15, 1/2 full $10, and 1/4 full $5, now what a difference. I guess it pays to shop around. Nobody is born with all the knowledge, we need to learn from each other!

MrMikie Member Registered: 08/01/03 Posts: 1506 Loc: Groton, CT	I used to trap my own, but trailer my boat and had it stolen more than once when I left it in, as I had no secire place to keep it. SO I just buy them now. Nobody is born with all the knowledge, we need to learn from each other!

Anonymous Unregistered	Fuzzy2u, Wood or wire(better)-a small (12x12x18) rectangular box with 2 holes in the top about 5 inches in diameter with about 3 or 4 inches of pvc in each hole like recessed chimneys. Make one of the sides on hinges with a latch of some sort for dumping out the crabs, snails etc. Crabs crawl up on top and fall thru holes and can't get out. We catch 100's right under our boat. Hoop-how do you do it?
